I'm reminded of that episode of the Simpsons where Homer eventually becomes this "gossip" of Springfield online. His first foray into creating a web site was to find all these weird, loud animations and throw them on a site. Then he got disappointed when no one visited the site. I'd hope I wasn't that poor of a designer, but it's so tempting to just use whatever's out there and difficult to discern what will add to the content and what will distract. (I tried to insert a link to the image, but it didn't work - just search Homer Simpson's first web page, if you're curious)

ol101-f2019: Iowa Online Course Standards - 5 views
-
The course instruction includes activities that engage students in active learning
-
The course structure has flexibility to accommodate multiple timelines
-
Isn't this where different types of online education would come into play? Different course structures could allow for multiple timelines, but having no dedicated timeline for forum postings where participants are expected to interaction with one another just leads to frustration for all involved. Sometimes too much flexibility undermines rigor.
-
-
sufficient rigor, depth, and breadth
-
I think this is a part that lots of people doubt--that online learning can have as much rigor. But in our school, we've seen teachers incorporating more rigor with online work than maybe they had before because thinking about online learning sort of shakes up the way teachers do things and they have to think about how google will play into the learning.

Iowa Online Teaching Standards - 5 views
-
Understands the differences between teaching online and teaching face-to-face (SREB C.1, Varvel V)
-
I would guess that this is the area where many teachers would feel the most challenged.
-
Without seeing their faces, it could be tough to gauge for comprehension.
-
This is crucial to have an instructor who understands the differences in delivery of content, facilitating student-student interactions and effective online pedogogies.
-
Every instructor should have a good tutorial or basic course in how to teach online. It's amazing how much the f2f teacher assumes the student knows or expects them to ask. With online, the directions and expectations have to be explicit so there is no miscommunication or misunderstanding, down to the number of words the instructor wants a post to be!
-
-
Assists students with technology used in the course
-
If students can't use they technology they can't access the content.The technology can be frustrating!
-
It needs to intuitive for students access and use.
-
I'm curious how often students of online courses need technical assistance beyond understanding the basic tools and LMS, for instance perhaps browsers are not updated, missing necessary plug-ins, error messages, etc. Is it the responsibility of the instructor or student to troubleshoot this?
-
Yah for sure! For those students who are not familiar with the online classroom, it is a two-pronged course: they are learning the content and also learning the system and technology. In my experience with teaching online, I feel the instructor should only be relied on for a little bit of tech help! Despite the fact that I teach online classes, I am not very good with troubleshooting technology issues...I just teach the content.

One of the findings mentioned in the article: it is more difficult to process information if it is coming at you both verbally and in written form at the same time. Since people can not read and listen well at the same time, the reporter suggested, then this may mean "the death of the PowerPoint presentation."
-
As I read this, I know this is true. I attend Professional Development all the time in which the person presenting is "reading" the slides as I am trying to also read them. Most times I am also trying to take notes. Obviously, this is not an effective way to remember the content.
-
You are correct about this now that I think about it. A lot of that has to do with the time in preparation as we all know time is precious with just our regular schedule.
-
While reading off the slides is never good, it is especially painful when the person is up front and cranes his neck around to read the slides, turning away from the audience.
-
I try so hard to help my students be confident enough about their presentation to realize they don't have to write every word!! I've always encouraged brief bullets and now I think I will have to work on dropping bullets.
-
-
Next time you plan a presentation, then, start by using a pencil and pad, a whiteboard, or a stick in the sand — anything except jumping headfirst into slideware on your computer with its templates, outlines, and content wizards that may point you down a path you wish not to go.
-
No more than six words on a slide. EVER. There is no presentation so complex that this rule needs to be broken.

it is far better to prepare a written document which highlights your content from the presentation and expands on that content. Audiences are much better served receiving a detailed, written handout as a takeaway from the presentation, rather than a mere copy of your PowerPoint slides
-
I see how this is a better way to format information. Any suggestions on adapting this for the instructional format? Specifically I'm thinking about online courses and flipped instruction. If I also post the written notes in addition to the presentation, what prompts students to bother with the presentation? Or do I just need to let it go and be okay with students getting the information in anyway that works fro them?

If the photographic image is secondary in importance, then I decrease the opacity and add a Gaussian Blur or motion filter in Photoshop.
-
You can then save the PowerPoint file as a Design Template (.pot) and the new template will appear among your standard Microsoft templates for your future use. You can also purchase professional templates on-line (for example: www.powerpointtemplatespro.com).
-
Good reminder! I want to improve my presentation abilities - not reinvent the wheel.
-
One thing I do is to recycle past presentations. I very rarely every start from scratch. Sure, the objectives have changed, so 3/4 of the presentation might be new, but having some of the slides already done from the start helps me during the planning phase. It's almost like having a couple pairs in Gin Rummy.

Teaching on the Web - Exploring the Meanings of Silence - 1 views

Issues to confront - 1. designing learning that will engage students 2. choosing material that is suitable for the web 3. pedagogy in the online environment
-
Teaching an online class for the first time would be much like teaching your first group of students F2F.. In Iowa we provide mentors for new teachers. It only makes sense to provide a mentor or some kind of support system for "newbie" online facilitators as well. At the AEA, we do a support system of sorts in place. We have enough AEA people trained that can offer support to one another.

There are numerous major educational issues to confront and resolve when delivering learning material on the Web -- like designing learning tasks that will engage students, and choosing material which is suitable for delivery via the Web. However, these are not the subjects of this brief discussion. I want to deal with a substantive issue that is too easily ignored or trivialised -- pedagogy in the online environment.
-
The need for support of teachers and academics in these early days of online delivery cannot be underestimated. Early adopters of new technologies can easily find themselves isolated, ignored and problem solving in an intellectual vacuum.
